Yet Another Bumper Saturday!

The preliminary auction clearance results are in from Domain. Nationally 1,222 properties sold, compared with 1,496 last week. This equates to a clearance rate of 74.8% compared with 72.9% last week, and 66.8% a year ago. So volumes down a little, but bumper sales.

Melbourne led the charge (again) with a 76.6% clearance rate with 679 sold, compared with 792 last week and 700 a year ago. Sydney hit 75.9% with 453 sold compared with 565 last week at 75.9% compared with 72% last week and 65.9 last year.

So whilst volumes may be down a little, there are plenty of buyers still wanting to close a deal!

Brisbane cleared 42% of the 110 scheduled auctions, Adelaide 62% of 69 scheduled, and Canberra 78% of 78 scheduled.

Auction activity rises week-on-week

From CoreLogic.

Auction activity across the combined capital cities increased this week, up from 2,409 auctions last week, to 2,794 this week, making it the sixth busiest week this year. This weeks weighted average clearance rate across the combined capitals was 77.2 per cent, increasing from a final clearance rate of 72.8 per cent over the previous week, while at the same time last year, both volumes (1,920) and the clearance rate (68.9 per cent) were lower.

The two largest auction markets, Melbourne and Sydney, saw their preliminary clearance rates rise, with Sydney at 80.7 per cent and Melbourne at 79.2 per cent, although Sydney, and to a lesser extent Melbourne, tend to revise down over the week when the remaining results are captured. Over the previous week, Sydney’s preliminary clearance rate of 79.4 per cent was revised down to 74.5 per cent when finalised.  Across the smaller capital city markets, Brisbane was the only city where preliminary clearance rates fell week-on-week so again it will be interesting to see how the clearance rates hold when the final figures are released on Thursday.

 

Auction Results May 20th 2017 Still Hot

The preliminary results from Domain continue to show strong rates of clearance on good volume. No signs of the main Sydney and Melbourne markets faltering yet.

The national clearance rate was 77.6% compared with 73.9% last week, and 69% a year ago. The number sold was 1,314, higher than last week at 1,286 and last year 984.

Sydney cleared 76.9% with 512 sales, compared with 73.8% on 512 last week and 375 last year. Melbourne cleared 79.2% with 688 sales compared with 75.4% and 654 last week and 497 last year.

Brisbane cleared 62% of 110 scheduled auctions, Adelaide 70% of 86 scheduled auctions and Canberra 75% of 66 scheduled.

Auction Volumes Rebound

From CoreLogic.

Auction markets have remained resilient, with both volumes and the preliminary clearance rate rising week-on-week. The strong auction results add some complexity to speculation that the housing market is moving through its peak rate of growth.  At face value, auction markets are continuing to indicate continued strength in selling conditions across Sydney and Melbourne, however it’s harder to know whether vendors are adjusting their reserve pricing in order to clear their property. There were 2,376 auctions held across the cities this week, with a preliminary auction clearance rate of 76.2 per cent. Last week, a final clearance rate of 73.0 per cent was recorded across 1,689 auctions. Over the corresponding week last year, auction volumes were lower than this week, with 1,876 properties taken to auction and a clearance rate of 69.5 per cent. Melbourne had the highest number of auctions this week, with 1,092 properties going to market, with a lower preliminary rate of clearance week-on-week (76.8 per cent), however Sydney saw the largest increase in volumes over the week, with 938 auctions held across the city, increasing from last week’s 592.  Final auction clearance rates are published on Thursday and it will be important to monitor whether preliminary clearance rates undergo some revision as more data flows through.

 

Auction Results For Today

The preliminary auction results from Domain for 13th May 2017 show continuing momentum in the major markets of Melbourne and Sydney.

Melbourne sold 593 properties at a clearance rate of 78.1%, compared with 466 last week at 74.6%. Sydney sold 445 at a rate of 79.3% compared with 366 at 70.6% last week. Both higher than this time last year.

Nationally, 1,153 sold at a rate of 78.1%, compared with 822 at 74.6% last week and 977 at 70.3% last year.

Brisbane cleared 55% of 69 scheduled auctions, Adelaide 62% of 74 scheduled and Canberra 78% of 72 scheduled auctions. So no obvious signs of a serious fall in transactions at the moment.

Auction Softening Trend

From CoreLogic

This week, 1,662 capital city auctions were held and preliminary results show that 1,365 auctions have been reported so far, with a preliminary clearance rate of 74.6 per cent, rising from a final clearance rate of 74.0 per cent last week across 2,350 auctions.  While clearance rates remain above the long term average across the largest capital cities, the rolling four week average reveals a softening trend which can be attributed to Sydney’s final clearance rate drifting lower over the past two months while the trend in Melbourne is holding firmer in the high 70.0 per cent range.  Preliminary results show that while Melbourne and Sydney maintain their place as the strongest auction markets, Adelaide and Brisbane have shown a rebound in the downwards clearance rate trend this week.  This week’s combined capital city preliminary clearance rate is stronger than one year ago, when 67.7 per cent of capital city properties cleared, however auction volumes are lower than this time last year when 2,230 homes were taken to auction across the combined capitals.

Auction Numbers Down

The preliminary data from Domain shows that the number of listings are down, though clearance rates are still quite high. Nationally, 721 properties were sold, compared with 1,286 last week and 1,043 a year ago.  Looks like momentum is indeed easing.

This equates to a 74.3% clearance compared with 73.9% last week and 66.8% a year ago. Sydney achieved 265, at 73.6% compared with 539 at 75.3% last week, and Melbourne sold 721, compared with 1,286 last week,  at 78.7% this week and 76.1% last week.

Brisbane cleared 55% of 69 listings, Adelaide 62% of 74 listings and Canberra 55% of 36 listed.

Preliminary Auction Clearance Rate Stronger This Week

From CoreLogic.

The combined capital city preliminary clearance rate rose to 76.9 per cent this week, increasing from last week, when final results saw the clearance rate fall to 69.8 per cent after 10 consecutive weeks remaining in the mid-70 per cent range.  The rebound in the preliminary clearance rate has occurred against a backdrop of higher auction volumes, with 2,347 properties taken to auction across the combined capital cities, up from last week’s 1,751, however lower than one year ago (2,675). The higher clearance rate and increase in volumes this week were attributable to stronger results across the two larger auction markets of Melbourne and Sydney, with performance across the remaining capitals remaining varied over the week.

Considering the slowdown in auction markets over previous weeks as well as widespread speculation that the housing market is moving through its peak, the final auction clearance rate, published by CoreLogic on Thursday, will be an important follow up to this strong preliminary result.

Auction Clearance Rates Still High, But On Lower Volumes

The preliminary auction clearance results are in from Domain. Nationally, it stands at 79.5% on 1,111 sales, compared with 71.8% last week and 69.7% a year ago. Melbourne has greater volume with 645 sold, at a rate of 81.7%, compared with 74.5% last week and 72.6% last year. Sydney cleared 388 at 80.3%, higher than last week.

Brisbane cleared 53% on 85 listed, Adelaide 73 on 65% and Canberra 58 on 64%.

So to real evidence to suggest a slowing market.

Auction Activity Rose Last Week

From Core Logic.

Auction activity increased significantly across the combined capital cities this week after last week’s Easter period slowdown, with 1,732 homes taken to market and a preliminary clearance rate of 72.1 per cent, down from 73.9 per cent last week across fewer auctions (493).  Melbourne saw the most significant increase in activity, with volumes increasing from 102 last week to 823 this week, also returning the highest clearance rate of all the capital cities (76.8 per cent). Both clearance rate and volumes are higher than what was seen over the corresponding week last year, when 69.7 per cent of the 1,565 auctions cleared.
